I remember going through SQL Server 7 training at MS and them telling us it doesn't support raw disks anymore. I always thought it was a dumb thing to do. *shrug*
SQL Server 6.5 was able to store the database on a RAW disk. In SQL Server 7.0 Microsoft made the stupid decision to quit supporting RAW disks and now the database has to reside on top of NTFS. Sounds like they're going to have to redo everything they threw away in the name of "progress."
Apple has given the QuickTime file format to the MPEG consortium for MPEG4, they provide the QuickTime Movie Trailers service gratis, and they give away Streaming Server with the code.
Shouldn't they be entitled to a little bit of money ($29.99 for QuickTime Pro) if you want to watch the largest trailer they have which in turn costs them the most in terms of bandwidth?
Your comment's reasoning implies that Mac OS X counts as a UNIX system. Mac OS X is not a UNIX® brand system.
Linux is not a UNIX brand system.
Many web developers like to develop on a system known to share some behavior with the production server.
As a web developer, I must say this is simply not true. I don't care if the system I'm developing on shares any characteristics with the web server. I imagine the only sort of "web developer" that would care, would be the kind that uses Frontpage.
Apple developed a file system exerciser that is helping the open source community greatly. You choose to only see Apple using open source technology -- which is kind of the point of open source technology. And fail to see what they give back. Which is a lot. A lot more than they are required to.
[22:56] [Diesel] I was interested in what effects, if any, jordans ties to Mac and OSX have had o
[22:56] [Diesel] n the freebsd project [22:56] [Diesel] I have also been interested in how jordan feels towards the other BSD projects a [22:56] [Diesel] nd why, when netbsd was just starting, did he feel it necessary to start the Fre [22:56] [Diesel] eBSD project? [22:57] [_jkh] is that the end of the question or does it pack any more in there?:) [22:57] [Diesel] haha [22:57] [Diesel] true journalism here;P [22:57] [_jkh] +i might not be a bad idea [22:58] [_jkh] OK, to take the first part of the question [22:59] [_jkh] there haven't been a _lot_ of effects on FreeBSD from my Mac OS X work, but there have certainly been more lines of communication set up and there's a definite advantage to being able to communicate important bits of information back and forth [22:59] [_jkh] like on security advisories and such [23:00] [_jkh] and some code has flowed in both directions [23:00] [_jkh] like the cool filesystem exerciser that Apple had which the FreeBSD folks were able to use to turn up about 4-5 really bad and long-term bugs in NFS [23:00] [_jkh] and even one in the soft updates code that Kirk had been chasing for months
Why the hell should Apple port any of their iApps, Aqua, or Display PDF to Linux? What good would it do Apple? None.
Apple will continue developing closed-source apps for its operating system, and it will continue giving back to the open source community through its tools and enhancements it makes with Darwin. Isn't that enough? How greedy do you have to be?
Anyway, I thought that there was a working version of QuickTime for Linux, you guys just don't have the Sorensen codec so you'll have to wait for when/if MPEG4 is the standard codec QuickTime uses.
Asking for a password for an administrative user confuses users that aren't administrators. It's much better to give a message stating what is required, and instructing them to click the lock to make changes.

Here's another tip: buy QuickTime. It's only 30-freaking-dollars.
Well, if Media Player is on every Windows PC then so is QuickTime. We all know that Media Player was based largely off of QuickTime. ;)
QuickTime is NOT a codec.
However, I don't think any of those other distros included support for AltiVec.
It's too bad the thing is so ugly no one would ever want to put it in their living room next to the rest of their stereo equipment.
The exterior of the base of the iMac is 10.6". The mobo has to be smaller to be able to FIT INSIDE.

MSDE _is_ SQL Server throttled for = 10 users and without the visual tools.

The iMac mobo is small and circular! Beat that!
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Redhat able to do this because of the work Apple has done with Darwin?

Because PDF isn't about the same thing that HTML is about. PDF is about preserving the document's formatting precisely.
Can you explain all of the free PDF distillers?
Can you explain how Apple was able to manage Display PDF for their new display engine in OS X?
...that's why you develop on a... DEVELOPMENT SERVER. Imagine that.

No. What is your point?
The contract won't be up for renewal. Pixar is currently under the opinion that they would be better off with out Disney once their contract expires.
I agree.
There is going to be Flash MX development tools for unix users. They're releasing Flash MX for Mac OS X.
PDF is an open standard.

This page contains a list of open source projects that Apple is working on.
I really hope Lasseter dubs one of the lines in the movie as "rip, mix, burn."

Scale effect is still an animation. It's just a faster animation than Genie.

It's easy to change the "slow animations". Just right-click on the Dock, select Minimize Using:Scale Effect.
(or you can ctrl+click if you have a one-button mouse)
